A certified
personal trainer can now figure out a person’s body fat by
conducting a body composition assessment with skin-fold calipers.
Knowing your body composition is important because a person could
be “overweight” according to a scale but have an ideal
body fat percentage. Also, it can work the other way, with a person
being below their proper weight but be above their ideal body fat
percentage. Knowing body fat percentages is important because obesity
is related to the risk of getting coronary heart disease, high blood
pressure, and high cholesterol. So, it’s very important to
know and keep a healthy body fat percentage. So, if you are questioning
what kind of shape you are currently in, go and get a body composition
assessment. It could be very beneficial to your training and overall
health!
Take the time
today to set an appointment with one of the personal trainers to
get the best results from your program.
